I design beautiful items for the home using ethically sourced windfall Irish trees. My collection includes bowls, salt mills, pepper grinders, commissioned items and sculptural art pieces. My workshop is located in the lovely village of Riverstown, County Sligo. We are surrounded by hills, woods and the wild Atlantic sea. This dramatic landscape plays a major part in my work.
Designing and creating beautifully formed yet functional wooden items is a lifetimes work that has taken me on a long and interesting path. My inspirations are borne out of this journey. I hope you will enjoy my work, use my wooden giftware and tableware products and uncover unique gifts to share with your family and friends.
I believe strongly that a maker should express in his work how he thinks and feels about the world and society. The object isn’t just an object but an embodiment of a series of values and beliefs. I care about the environment. I respect and appreciate quality. As a consumer I try and make choices that benefit the environment and society. Fair trade, organic, ethically produced food, clothing and products. I hope my work exists in this space and that my customers share these values. I make objects that I would like to buy.
